Nice place in Bangkok. This was my first time in the city! everything does seem far away! But thats probably big cities for you!. you can get motorbike taxis or the apartment bus to the local MRT station! ... or you can walk to MRT station, but please note, you do have to cross some busy roads to do that! which can be stressful in the heat!
- There is a water machine downstairs in the laundry room! (water is important for us all) . most places in thailand have these machines which is very convenient. I think the host was unaware of the water machine when I asked her, maybe this is something she missed. so i did pay for my water for the first week by spending extra to buy bottles from seven 11. but as soon as i discovered the water machines, all was well for my water costs! ha :)
- oh , and there is also a TOPS supermarket walkable from condo which I wish I knew about from the outset. i think host was unsure about this when i asked her about local supermarket I could walk to from condo. So for the first week, i did have to trek further to central festival as i was unaware of the TOPS supermarket about a 15 minute walk from condo!! (which would have been very useful to know about and for some reason it doesn't show up on google maps when you search for nearby supermarkets)!! im not sure why! ..
I think host thought there was a supermarket at the SHOWDC, but she said she hadn't been to that SHOWDC mall in ages, and it was a mistake on her part and there wasn't a supermarket there after all. (we all makes mistakes, so hey no major harm ). It would have been helpful though to know about the TOPS supermarket walkable from condo, but its all good.
so to find the TOPS supermarket , come out of apartment building, turn left, (walking towards SHOWDC shopping centre) and i think its your first LEFT. Take that first left and keep walking straight and you will see lots of shops, food places, a local market that opens every day and also the TOPS supermarket! (life saver) ! :)
- all in all a good stay! check-in was efficient and easy etc and as im a tea lover, i needed something to store my tea in, so the host gave me a tea strainer jug which was helpful. I wrote the above suggestions to help you guys, i hope it helped! Have fun guys in bangkok! :)
